The pillows pictured above are the first order I received as a result of Getting (in) Mike Rowe’s Pants… I made a quilt along with 69 other items to auction off to benefit mikeroweWORKS! out of 8 pair of Mike Rowe’s Pants!

Patricia sent me 2 shirts and a bathrobe. They belonged to her daughter, Melissa’s Grandfather. If you click the picture it will reveal more of the story in the comment thread.

Pat requested Heart-shaped pillows. And the above is what I sent back. Both shirts became 1 12″ and 1 8″ heart shaped pillow. The 8″ Heart is taken from the left front pocket. Closest to his heart.

The Bathrobe became a 12″ heart and what is now known as, the Bathrobe Bow Pillow. I used the back from the waist down. Kept the belt loops and the sash to fashion a bow in the front. Creativity has no bounds. I really like it. And I know Melissa did as well.

Oh and I posted to Mike Rowe requesting his bathrobe to make pillows from. More stuff to add to his pile of C.R.A.P. Let’s see if he sends it…Collectables ~ Rare and Precious.

And for a really special T-Shirt…I have a pillow for that too. They run $50 each or $40 as an add on to a T-Shirt Quilt order…which you can find @ Magic Touch & Her Gardens blog…. Someday this will be better organized…It is on the list!

If you have shirts or a bathrobe you would want to preserve in pillow form, let me know. I will do my best to sew your treasure into a memory from the Heart!
